Decent pack suits me well...
Purchased this pack after trying a couple others and this has been the best fit for my 17" widescreen laptop (
HP Pavilion DV9000 series) of any so far. Planning to keep this and wear it out. The design is minimal in style and I like that it doesn't scream "I'm carrying a laptop!" like so many other
bags.
Overall, the pack is great. However, it receives two demerits for the following:
1) The material is thin and I have doubts as to its durability over the long term. There have been no problems thus far, but I won't be surprised if a seam pulls out or if the integrity is compromised by a minor incident.
2) The padding on the side which is pressed against the back (when wearing both straps) is quite thick and comfortable enough, but does not provide enough air-flow as many other packs do. This will not be an issue for you if you're a casual wearer, but should you need to strap down for any distance this may cause discomfort as your body heat is trapped between you and the padding.
Overall, again, this is a great pack and I'm glad to have purchased. And as always, Zappos has been great to buy from!
